If his ELC happens to be preserved, it will not be a conscious decision by Dubas to have that happen. The Leafs are fighting for a playoff spot, they aren't going to make the team worse just to try and save a bit of money in a few years. In a perfect scenario, the ELC slides. However with the injuries we are not in a perfect scenario. I care more about winning games and Sandin can help us do that. If he keeps playing well he deserves to stay.
Marincin is good in limited minutes with the right partner. We will not be able to rely on him to play higher in the lineup then he currently is. I'm not a hater, just a realist based on four years of watching him.
